Demon Podium X MIPS® Helmet 710g. Four Certifications| MTB

Demon Podium X MIPS® Helmet — 710g. Four Certifications. 

710 grams. Four independent certifications. One helmet for every gravity sport you ride. The Podium X carries MIPS® rotational protection, a custom-conforming EPS foam liner, and compliance with CPSC, CE EN 1078, ASTM F1952 (Downhill MTB), and ASTM F1447 — the full certification stack for riders who move between snow and dirt and need a helmet that's been tested for both. Featherweight on your head. Anything but lightweight on protection.

Most helmet crashes don't happen straight on. They happen at angles — the glancing hit off a tree, the sideslip into a rail, the rotational force of catching an edge and going head-first into hardpack. Standard helmets are tested for direct linear impacts. MIPS-equipped helmets are tested for both. The Podium X carries MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) — an independent low-friction layer between the outer shell and the liner that allows the helmet to rotate independently of your head by 10-15mm on angled impact. That rotation absorbs and redirects rotational force. It's the standard that the industry has converged on for meaningful head protection, and it's in the Podium X.

Beneath the MIPS® layer, the EPS foam liner is engineered to conform to the shape of your specific head — not a generic oval, your head — for a secure, custom-feeling fit that doesn't shift or pressure-point across a full day of riding. EPS absorbs and dissipates impact energy through controlled compression, and at 710 grams total, the Podium X delivers that protection in a package light enough to forget you're wearing it after the first run.

The tough outer shell is built for repeated impacts and abrasion — the kind of sustained abuse that comes from charging technical terrain, taking multiple slams in a park session, or descending anything where contact with the environment is part of the ride. A helmet that deforms on the first significant hit and requires replacement is fine; a helmet that can take repeated lower-level contact and stay intact for a season is better. The Podium X is built for the latter.

The removable visor adjusts sight lines across different terrain and light conditions, and the washable liner and cheek pads keep hygiene in check across a full season without having to replace the helmet to replace the smell. Swap the liner at the end of the season, ride the helmet again next year.

Four certification standards — CPSC, CE EN 1078, ASTM F1952 (Downhill MTB), and ASTM F1447 — cover the full spectrum from recreational snow sports through aggressive downhill mountain biking. Each is an independent standard. Each has been tested. The Podium X doesn't cherry-pick the easiest cert; it carries all four.

MIPS®Rotational Protection — Multi-directional Impact Protection System; independent low-friction layer allows 10-15mm of rotational movement on angled impact, redirecting rotational force 
EPS Foam Liner — conforms to the shape of your head for a custom, secure fit; absorbs and dissipates impact energy through controlled compression
Tough Outer Shell — durable construction for repeated impacts and abrasion; built for sustained use across a full season of aggressive riding
Featherweight Design — 710g — all-day comfort without compromising the protection stack; forget you're wearing it, until you need it
Four Independent Certifications — CPSC, CE EN 1078, ASTM F1952 (Downhill MTB), and ASTM F1447; independently tested across the full spectrum from recreational snow to aggressive downhill MTB
Removable Visor — adjustable for different terrain and light conditions; removable for a clean helmet profile
Washable Liner & Cheek Pads — removable and machine washable; maintain hygiene and comfort across a full season without replacing the helmet
Multi-Sport Certified — snow (skiing, snowboarding) and mountain biking (downhill MTB) in a single helmet; certified for both disciplines
